Trump 'to advance controversial pipelines'. Giving the power back to the people is a smoke screen. He does not care about his constituency. It's about him and his friends getting fatter on oil and anything else they can make money on.

Who needs clean air and water? Who needs land to live on? It doesn't belong to anyone but the corporations.

Yeah but he really needs to keep it up with the three million people who voted illegally. I'm sure there's something there even if many in his party disagree.

Republicans admonished Mr Trump and urged him to drop the matter a day after the closed doors meeting with congressional leaders.

Senator Lindsey Graham called the comments "inappropriate", adding that Mr Trump should "knock this off".

He continued that the president "seems to be obsessed with the idea that he could not have possibly lost the popular vote without cheating and fraud".

"I would urge the president to knock this off," he added.

House Speaker Paul Ryan also said there was no evidence to support his claims.

"I've seen no evidence to that effect. I've made that very, very clear," the Wisconsin Republican told reporters on Tuesday.

Republican Pennsylvania Representative Charlie Dent also weighed in, saying Mr Trump needed to move on and "get to the serious business of governing".

Donald Trump just can't let it go. Even with a comfortable electoral college victory over Hillary Clinton last November, his three-million-vote deficit to his Democratic presidential opponent clearly is eating at him. It's an open wound on his psyche that leaves him looking for someone to blame.

How else to explain the president's continued allegations that undocumented immigrants cast millions of illegal votes for his opponent, despite no supporting evidence?

It would be in Mr Trump's interest to simply move on. Or, if he truly feels his concerns are legitimate, to announce a robust effort to investigate what would easily be the biggest electoral heist in US history.

Instead, he has vented his angst in early morning tweets and during closed-door meetings with his members of Congress. The end result is a distracting media frenzy that forces his Republican allies - including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan - to distance themselves from his unsubstantiated accusations.

It's creating a rift within conservative ranks when the one thing Mr Trump needs - in fact, the only thing he really needs to enact his agenda - is party unity.

According to recent media reports, Mr Trump is highly attuned to charges that his presidency was illegitimately acquired. The popular vote loss obviously plays into these perceptions. When George W Bush entered the presidency under similar circumstances, his team was intent on moving forward as quickly as possible. Mr Trump seems determined to do just the opposite.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump banned employees of the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Tuesday from providing social media updates and talking with reporters, The Associated Press reported.

Emails that have been sent to EPA staff since Trump was inaugurated on Friday give specific prohibitions that ban news releases, blog updates and posts on the agency’s social media accounts.

There has also been a “temporary suspension” of new business activities at the EPA. That includes issuing task orders or work assignments to EPA contractors, the AP reported.

BuzzFeed reported the USDA instituted a similar ban, with employees not allowed to distribute information about research papers or to post on Twitter under the agency’s name.

A memo at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service said said the agency would immediately cease releasing any “public-facing” documents.

“This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, photos, fact sheets, news feeds, and social media content,” according to the memo.

The Huffington Post said employees under the Department of Health and Human Services were also told not to speak to public officials.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said it was natural for a new administration to reconsider agency operations.

So you're speculating that Trump may be some kind of trojan horse, which is completely fair. At this time I think he's largely a rogue entity in D.C., something of a modern day Andrew Jackson.

But the Rino Neo-Cons that surround him, those are the ones you have to watch out for as they will try to manipulate him in some manner towards the globalist ideals which are currently losing grip (Brexit, Trump and other populist/nationalist risings in western europe).

But if you want to get closer to what's really going on, you need to remove the ideological blinders and understand he's currently making an end run around the Democratic party by appealing to the Unions and expanding his constituency.

If he locks this voting bloc down and diffuses the Dem party as a strictly bi-coastal entity, then the donkey's will be done for for a good long while. DNC is a rudderless ship right now and if all there is are pissed off lesbians and old whores like Madonna spouting off on the mic trying to lead some anti-Trump cause while he's pouring in jobs at record numbers, the Dem's will be in even bigger trouble than they are now.

Multiple journalists arrested while covering President Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington have been charged with felony rioting, an accusation one of their employers called an “affront to the First Amendment.”

At least six journalists were among more than 200 people arrested during anti-Trump demonstrations on Friday, The Guardian reports. Most of those people face felony rioting charges, according to CBS. As of Tuesday evening, journalists facing felony charges included Evan Engel of Vocativ, Alexander Rubinstein of RT America, documentary producer Jack Keller, freelancer Aaron Cantu and independent journalists Shay Horse and Matt Hopard.

If convicted, they could be sentenced to 10 years in prison or $25,000 fines.

Though many protesters at the event were peaceful, some damaged property and threw objects. At least six officers suffered minor injuries.

However, none of the arrest reports for the journalists ******* any allegations of individual wrongdoing, according to The Guardian. Instead, the documents simply refer to large numbers of people being arrested for destroying property or violating rioting laws.

Similarly, probable cause documents for Engel and Rubinstein obtained by The Huffington Post describe a large group vandalizing property and starting fires, with some people throwing objects at officers. Both documents are identical, and each state that the defendant was “arrested as part of this group.”

Rubinstein tweeted numerous photos and videos from the protests Friday. After the arrest, he tweeted that cops threw a flash grenade that temporarily left him unable to see. “Cops encircled crowd when I couldn’t see; arresting everyone,” he wrote.

“The arrest, detainment and rioting charge against journalist Evan Engel who was covering the protests for Vocativ are an affront to the First Amendment and journalistic freedom,” a Vocativ spokesperson said in a statement sent to HuffPost. “Vocativ will vigorously contest this unfounded and outrageous charge.”

Keller, Hopard, Cantu and Horse all told The Guardian they were innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.

The nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists condemned rioting charges against “at least three” of the journalists in a Tuesday release. The release referred to the arrests of Engel, Rubinstein and Cantu, though the organization noted they were still reviewing the other arrest reports.

“These charges are clearly inappropriate, and we are concerned that they could send a chilling message to journalists covering future protests,” CPJ’s Carlos Lauría said in the statement. “We call on authorities in Washington to drop these charges immediately.”
